About This Property

Turnkey equine estate located along scenic Cabanne Course Creek featuring professional-grade facilities, a beautifully maintained ranch-style home, and outstanding income-producing potential. Conveniently located just over an hour from St. Louis and approximately 20 minutes from Park Hills, this property offers a rare combination of privacy, accessibility, and established equestrian infrastructure. The residence offers approximately 3,640 m/l square feet with 3–4 bedrooms, multiple baths, and a warm rustic feel throughout. Hardwood floors, updated finishes, vaulted ceilings, a cozy fireplace, and two spacious living areas create a comfortable setting for both everyday living and hosting guests. A walkout basement and dedicated mud/laundry room add convenience for an active ranch lifestyle. Designed with versatility in mind, this property is exceptionally well suited for a variety of equine and event-based business opportunities. The impressive 200' x 100' red-iron indoor arena/event center features lighting, a sound system, concession area, and restrooms with showers, making it ideal for year-round barrel races, team ropings, rodeos, horse shows, clinics, riding lessons, auctions, and special events. A 210' x 100' lighted outdoor arena provides additional space for competitions, training, and large-scale gatherings. Supporting facilities include a 120' x 60' metal barn with 18 horse stalls, wash bays, tack rooms, and ample storage, creating an excellent setup for horse boarding, training programs, breeding operations, lesson programs, or a full-service equestrian business. A 4-horse hot walker further enhances the property's appeal for serious horse owners and trainers. The well-maintained pipe fencing, cross-fenced pastures, and automatic waterers provide efficient livestock and pasture management while offering ample turnout space for horses. A pavilion and fire pit create a welcoming atmosphere for competitors, spectators, and guests during events. Whether your vision is a premier barrel racing facility, rodeo venue, horse boarding operation, training center, event destination, or private equestrian retreat, this property offers the infrastructure and location to support a wide range of opportunities. Facilities of this caliber are increasingly difficult to find, and the replacement cost of the arenas, barn, fencing, and supporting improvements would be substantial.

Rolling farm country over the old lead belt, hills at the doorstep.

St. Francois County sits where the Ozark hills meet gentler, more open country, long the heart of Missouri's old lead belt. The terrain rolls from timbered ridges into pasture, hay ground, and small working farms, making it some of the more accessible and productive land in the region. Reclaimed mining ground and state park land offer wide-open recreation, while the surrounding hills still hunt well for deer and turkey. Streams and farm ponds water the cattle country, and the St. Francis River gathers nearby. Closer to St. Louis than the deep Ozarks, it appeals to buyers wanting a manageable farm, a rural homestead, or a recreational place without giving up convenience. Solid, workable ground with room to grow.
